These are two different versions of the same illustration, both of which are in fairly preliminary stages.  This character is the narrator of the story, Dr. Nicomachus.  He is a mysterious individual who lives in the Speculative Realm and studies thought experiments.  Since he does not actually exist in the physical world but in a sort of mental space, I thought it might be fitting if his anatomy does not obey all the rules of physics, hence the unraveling arm and hat.  The object in the hand of the version on the right is a double image: both a cane and two mirror images of Mr. Doubus's face.  In general, I think I like the posture of the left version and the cane and arm position of the right version, so I will probably find a way to combine those elements.   

     Professor Murphy here is up to some mischief.  Again, like the image with Fritz a few posts back, I am having trouble making the red spots look like lights.

     These still have a ways to go before I can call them finished.  The woman in the first panel and the man with all the crazy white hair in the second panel are both supposed to be lawyers.  Mr. Doubus is sitting in the witness booth at a very important court case.

    Here Mr. Doubus is shaking hands with a rather eccentric doctor. 

     Fritz is doing something sneaky.  These are getting close to being finished. The little bit of red on Fritz's wrist is supposed to be a red light, but I can't get it to glow yet and it just looks like a jewel.  I think I'll try a little yellow in its center and maybe let the red bleed out a bit.

     This smug creeper is Professor Murphy.  He teaches computer programming (he's secretly a hacker).  The drawing is still not quite finished, but right now I think it looks rather like a faded photograph and I want to preserve as much of that look as possible.    

      This drawing is still in its roughest stage, but I think it looks pretty cool the way it is.  Hopefully I won't screw it up when I "finish" it.

      Here is a page I recently finished.  In this sequence, a customer enters a Teletravel Incorporated teleportation booth, presses the button, gets zapped by the Atom Scanner, and disappears.  The first panel actually needs a little work; the perspective is still not quite right and the contrast is lacking in places.  I have not posted anything in a while because I am trying to focus this month on roughly sketching out all the illustrations so I can spend the rest of my semester going back in and adding detail.  That's the plan for February.  Hopefully, I will find time to finish a few illustrations every week so I have something to post.  I intend to finish the graphic novel by the end of April, at which time I will be putting all the work up in the school gallery for my thesis show.  Then I graduate!  Ahh!
